“Who ate our corn?” sounds like a simple enough question but is designed to intrigue students and launch them on a quest to find answers and to ask more questions. That is the goal of the Future Scientists Program featured in this chapter. The Future Scientists Program is built around a question, but with the larger goal of reawakening the scientist in all of us. Society will be better served by a scientifically literate population, not only able to explore science, but to be in a position to question it. It establishes a collaborative community of teachers, students, parents, and research scientists.
